Patti Page's figure story.

American top recording artist gives the appearance of being a slim girl, who hasn't a figure problem in the world, but that isn't no. When you discover that Patti has hips that

24" measure 36", with a 34" bust and a waist, you realize that this girl has a big problem.

"Have you ever tried buying clothes for a figure with those measurements?" asks Patil.

Patt! is a natural girl, with blonde hair, which she never refouches, and blue eyes. She barely wears any make-up on the street, and her stage make-up amounts to no more than most women wear when they are out. She has very dednite ideas about what a girl with her surt of figure should wear.

When she isn't on stage, Patti prefers to wear clothes that are a bit on the tailored side. She is a a great disbeliever in the fact that a person with large hips shouldn't wear suits. Patti practically lives in them, and claims that If you wear the proper type of suit, it will tend to slim your hips, rather than accentuate them.

are.

When Pait! chooses dress, particularly one that she will wear when she is on stage, she always makes certain that it is loose Atting.- Her reason for this is that a tight dress doesn't permit her to have the freedom that is necessary to have when she sings. One outstanding feature about all her dresses that they all have full skirts. "A light skirt defnitely em- phasises the broadness of one's hips."

Patti has often been told that she should do this and do that to reduce, but she pays no heed to any of this advice. She has her own method for maintaining her weight and could, wanted, take off

And that if have a normal balanced diet with pleaty of proteins to give me the energy necessary for my body to burn up the excess fat, I'm all right. The one thing that T do regularly each morning when I get up, is a few exercises that are good for the hips."

She also does another exercise that is quite similar. She lays outstretched, in the same position and touches hor left hand with her right. foot and vice versa. Both these exercises besides being good for the hips, tend to strengthen the stomach muscles

and keep your waistline trim. Any exercise that makes you roll on your "but!" is good, according to Patti,
